    First the service was impeccable, from the moment we approached the front door to the time we left everyone was gracious, kind and accomodating. Alexis was wonderfully knowledgeable, gave great recommendations and was super attentive. My of age but non drinking daughter thoroughly enjoyed the Blackberry Club mocktail. The food was delicious. Perfectly seasoned and delicious. The truffle fries are pure perfection as is the crème brulee. Highly recommend whether for a special occasion or just to grab a bite to eat!

    Sadly, this is the last time we’ll be able to eat at the chart house. They are permanently closing in three days due to ongoing construction along the riverfront that is interfering with the business. However, as always, the food was delicious and the service was excellent! This was our yearly birthday tradition cause my birthday is in November and my mother’s is in December so we always went in between our two birthdays to celebrate. Sadly, this will be our last time to be able to do so.
